V

Every once in a while, I try to go back to this scene from the movie and consider it a yardstick to asses my English and how much my vocab has expanded. Of course I could take the short cut of jotting down the new terms in dialogue along with their definitions, but I feel as though that I'd be cheating myself.
In my book, it's a very-well written piece of script. Enjoy!

V: VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into poster on wall]
V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
[giggles]
V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?
V: I am quite sure they will say so. But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking with?
Evey Hammond: I'm Evey.
V: Evey? E-V. Of course you are.

Just make sure you never actually use those words in real life. . . Someone might vouchsafe you with a punch in the face. . .
